Nuro

Driven people. Empathetic leadership.

Nuro is completely staffed with junior engineers.

There are just a small sprinkle of senior engineers; the "senior engineers" that grew at Nuro are basically junior engineers with company know-how.

This results in extremely bad processes. Data is fragmented across many systems. Nobody seems to care about documenting anything. Everything resides in somebody's head, and they pretty much refuse to write things down. Craftsmanship is clearly lacking.

There is a lot of C++ fanaticism, and people are very gung-ho about writing good C++ code. But this is at the expense of ignoring any sort of quality for every other language (SQL, Python, JavaScript) and every other framework.

Please fix the distribution of Senior engineers. And please guide the culture such that Senior engineers can play a part in ensuring the quality of the code and product. Encourage craftsmanship.
